THAT elicited a pause from Lavan. Nanami was in a Legion camp? And not just some Legion camp, but CAESAR'S camp and palace??? Even Lavan knew that going there was a recipe for disaster, and Nanami was there with another person, no backup and in the midst of enemy territory.

Ok. Think.

First, from what he remembered, it wasn't too far from where he was right now. After he completed his contraption, he and Cess could probably make their way to Caesar's camp within just a few hours, maybe even within one if Lavan decided to test out the Nos system. That could result in some damage to his bike, because he didn't quite know how far he could take the Nos and how hot it would get within and around the engine, but he figured that when it came to worst-case scenario, they'd be on the spot in at most three hours.

Second, Nanami only had one other person as backup. That was actually a good thing, since stealth right now would be the only thing keeping them from getting captured. As long as Nanami decided not to do something TOO incredibly foolish (like Lavan himself is prone to doing), they'd remain undetected until backup arrived. Then, the redhead figured he could play long-range support pretty darn well with the amount of guns, ammo and just various crap he recently got his hands on.

Third, there was Cess. Cess looked like the sort to favor stealth as well, and Lavan was grateful for it. Contrary to popular belief, Lavan was pretty damn good at sneaking around, since he had remained generally uncaptured until he let himself be caught to enter the games. He was capable of completely concealing his heat signature, and his ability to hide from sight basically made him invisible against Enclave Soldiers, since they use thermal imagine to catch the details they normally wouldn't.

Still... Caesar's camp, eh?

"Alright. Cess is right here, he should be pulling a map out right about now. In the meantime, I'll be on the lookout point with Cess within three hours at the latest. If YOU are not there within three hours, I am going to sneak into the base and check your location. If you can, keep comms open so we can correlate locations. If you get caught, don't try too hard to get out by yourself, we will be able to provide a diversion if that ever happens to be the case. Though I don't think I need to tell you to NOT get caught, eh?"

“I have no intention of getting caught.” Nanami replied over the Pip-Boy when Lavan had responded to her. She briefly let go of Hammah’s arm and walked over to the small computer console against the wall.

She bent down on her knees and inspected it. There were numerous blinking lights, and several odd, unlabeled buttons. At the top was a small, round slot. She paused, and reached for a string around her neck.

She pulled a small black bag from out of her shirt, which she wore around her neck. Nanami opened the bag and out came a single poker chip.

The Platinum Chip.

She looked back to Hammah, and spoke through the Pip-Boy again.

“We’ll get our stuff done as quickly as we can. You just hurry to that rendezvous point, just do NOT engage the Legion.”

Lavan's answer was somewhat ominous and unbelievable.

"We'll be ghosts, girlie, the Legion won't even know we're there until I let them know as much. Expect us there within 3. If we're not there... Hide. Yo! Cess! Get the map over here and speak your peace!"

And he dove right back to work, attaching a few more tubes, a few more pipes, putting an entirely new assembly on the back of the bike, extending its seating. Then, he began to weld the two mounts that he bought. Sure, he didn't have the weapons for the mounts yet... But he sure as hell was going to get them.

He was getting hyped up. He got to screw wit the Legion now! About time he took a break from those power-armored sonsabitches from the Enclave!

-Camp McCarren-

“I got the map right here,” Cess said, holding the map up towards Lavan, then putting it down to look over.

“Caesar's camp is this way...To the southwest. They have a camp...here, across the river, that the NCR know about, but haven't done anything about yet,” Cess said, tracing his finger towards Cottonwood Cove, “And from there there's a river that leads to Caesar's Camp...

“I'm assuming that's how Nanami got in. It might be our best bet...Or, we can try pretending we're merchants and traders,” Cess said, looking up towards Lavan, “Some people do do some trading with them, so it wouldn't be unheard of. Would help us get closer...”



“Hey, when you have to work for the Enclave, you have to learn to think sneaky...” Samuel said, sighing softly. “Let's go...”

Soon they would find Peterson, who hadn't gotten too far from the room they were talking. Samuel told them what they had learned, using his partial lie. Peterson frowned, then nodded.

“That...would make sense, from what's been happening,” Peterson said, sighing, “Look...I know you were worried about your children. We do want your help, and to be honest, if there is a spy...the Rebels are some of the only people I can trust with this. If you want, you can talk with who we have captured. But you can't kill him, understand? Rough him up a bit if you have to, but don't kill him.”

Samuel nodded, “Thank you...We'll do our best.”

He then turned away, then glanced towards Rica as they headed off.

“Look...You may not like him, considering...but maybe we should get that Ethan guy to help us. He was former Legion, wasn't he? He might be able to help...” Samuel suggested.

-Caesar's Camp-

Hammah rubbed his wrist once it was released.

“There's a lot of tech down there,” Hammah warned, “Some of it's active too...When we get closer, or find some place to get into the system, I can probably deactivate any of the defenses...and...”

He paused, then grinned slightly, “If there's some active robots...I think I could activate them and have them come up and attack the Legion here...That could work for a distraction to help us get out. Time it so they don't start until we're a little aways.”

-Safe House-

“We might only be able to accomplish one goal...” Edda said, sighing, “We can try...but if we spread out our resources too thin...”

He didn't want them to try both goals and fail, if they could only actually accomplish one...

“I mostly just got so drunk that the Enclave didn’t ask me to do much.” Rica shrugged, and he followed Samuel. He said nothing during the meeting with Peterson, and when the two were alone again and the conversation turned to Samuel, Rica merely shrugged.

“Sure, why not? It’d be easier than me trying to shove a gun up his ass and threatening him.” Rica shrugged, giving a terrifying glimpse into his psyche.

[Caesar’s Camp]

“We’ll see.” Nanami said, and that was all she said. She wondered how useful a few robots could be against the Legion. While the Legion didn’t have much tech, they did have massive numbers and their soldiers were all willing to die for Caesar.

She slipped the Platinum Chip into the computer, and suddenly a staircase opened up on the floor. Nanami simply waited for it to be fully opened, and then she started down the stairs without a word.

It opened up to a small room… with a big computer console on the wall.

[Safe House]

Connor frowned. Edda was right. They needed to focus on one goal…

“… I don’t know about you guys… but I want to free the Avoxes. That’s what I think we should do.” Connor said quietly.

Lavan immediately denied Cess's suggestion.

"With as heavily modified as this baby looks like, I doubt we will ever pass off as normal traders, especially since this motorcycle is a classic from the pre-Flare classic, no simple merchant would ever ride something like this. On top of that, it has obvious mounts for heavy weapons. This is becoming a light assault vehicle for precision strikes and fast getaways, and while humanity as a whole is pretty stupid, I doubt no one will connect the dots amongst the Legion."

He finally rolled out from under the bike and started to tinker on the pipes under the second seat, every once in a while attaching wiring, more tubes, and other various little knick-knacks that slowly shaped the bike into something a lot more menacing-looking than just any motorcycle.

"On top of that, we won't really have much in the way of getaway power. However... What we CAN do, is approach over water." He grinned, pointing at the 8-pipe assembly, tapping it with a wrench. "This right here could get us over large bodies of water relatively easily." He pointed the wrench on a spot on the map. "And we have the perfect overlook right here. All it would take us is just under a minute to cross over to the rendezvous point From there."

He flipped the wrench in his hand and dove right back to work, tongue sticking out in between his lips as he concentrated on the job...

"You're only saying that because of her" Chloe said, plopping down on the couch beside Connor and looking over to Sarai. "If your little mouse wasn't here you wouldn't even be considering it. You probably would have killed Autumn by now and avenged your parents--of course they wouldn't be dead either I guess"

Sarai was now glaring daggers at Chloe, and it was obvious the other girl was paying no attention to the former Avox. After a breath Chloe continued on.

"I mean i'm all for them being free and stuff, but they've survived this long without our help right? Shouldn't we take on the most important priorities first?" Chloe reasoned "Contacting the NCR is our best bet on bringing down Autumn...And eventually Gallic as well, surely burying those guys six feet under is more important that helping some probable criminals get their rights back instantly-"

"T-They aren't criminals!" Sarai exclaimed suddenly, unable to keep quiet. "T-They're people!"

"People who committed crimes" Chloe corrected "You too, you know. You broke the law. Not saying they deserve the punishment but technically they shouldn't be put above the safety of everyone else is Panem-GAH!"

Suddenly Chloe was on the floor, caught off guard as Sarai jumped at her and knocked her down. Quickly Chloe recovered, using her strength to overpower the girl and hold her down.

"What the eff?!" Chloe exclaimed, still keeping Sarai pinned while she thrashed about. "Calm down you crazy broad!"

"S-Stop acting like w-we're not p-people!" Sarai shouted back, not calming down.

Camp McCarren

Melanie's eyes snapped open when Galv mentioned a child, the girl's face going red and her lips turning in a small smile. "You'd make a good dad. I mean I don't know much about what they do but I imagine it's a lot like how Jason used to treat me...Or maybe mom"

Melanie then paused, giving a small laugh.

"Okay, maybe not mom." she corrected quickly

[...]

Kanna sat outside one of the tents, drink in hand. She was a bit on edge but she was happy Melanie was safe....She raised her brow as she noticed Jason heading back into camp....Erin on his arm.

"Where have you been?" she asked "You were supposed to be watching Melanie"

Jason blinked "Since when? Melanie's sixteen, I think she'll be okay without me watching her every second-

"She wandered off with that boy to the Strip-"

"WHAT?!" Jason exclaimed "When!?"

"When you were supposed to be watching her"

Connor gasped as Sarai tackled Chloe. He was not surprised that Sarai was mad, but he had not expected her to actually attack the other girl. Connor immediately jumped off the couch and pushed Chloe away from Sarai.

He then threw his arms around Sarai, both as a hug and to keep her from rushing at Chloe again.

“Calm down!” Connor shouted. “Both of you please! If we’re going to turn on each other now, then why did we both surviving the Hunger Games?”

Ouch. Connor’s words were harsh, but true.

“Chloe, I want Autumn and Gallic to pay for what they did, but there’s an entire rebellion dedicated to bringing them down. There’s no one looking out for the Avoxes.”

Connor paused. “It’s true that the Avoxes are criminals… but should a criminal be reduced to slavery? Besides, most of the Avoxes are political prisoners. People who spoke out against the Enclave, or who helped the rebels… people like US, Chloe.”

"You've gone soft miho" Chloe exclaimed as Connor pulled an enraged Sarai against him, holding her back from trying to attack again. "You want to help every person, save everyone and make them all happy and peaceful! Well guess what? That isn't going to happen unless you focus on the bigger picture and bring down Autumn and Gallic! You have to be willing to KILL to get what you want! Stop getting distracted by that girl because you know you are!"

Sarai struggled against Connor for a moment before calming down.

"And guess what, you're protecting her and she's a criminal. Not a political prisoner, not an aid to the rebellion. A criminal." Chloe muttered, glaring forward at Sarai. "You're wasting your time protecting someone who doesn't even deserve it while you could be saving thousands of innocents who haven't killed anyone!"

Sarai pushed herself away from Connor, feeling a sudden need to get out of the room before she lunged at Chloe. She rushed into the hallway, heading into one of the rooms (and slamming the door behind her).

Connor watched Sarai run towards the other room. He paused, and he suddenly began to shake with rage. He clenched his fists, and then he turned towards Chloe and he looked absolutely livid.

“What the hell is wrong with you!?” Connor shouted entirely too loud. “What is your problem with Sarai? All you’ve done is put her down and insult her! Stop being so mean, Chloe!”

Connor clenched his fists. “We have the chance to save people’s lives. It will undermine the Enclave at the same time. Now stop being antagonistic towards Sarai! She’s our friend, and if we keep fighting each other we will all die!”

Chloe stared at Connor with a stone-faced expression as he exploded at her. She had her reasons for not liking Sarai, but she was pretty sure it wouldn't be smart to mention that she was pretty sure she was in love with the boy and thus hated his relationship with Sarai.

"She's holding you back" Chloe said simply, crossing her arms over her chest. "It's as simple as that. But do what you want. Go save all the Avoxes if that's what you want. But when you get killed doing it you'll be leaving millions more to suffer."

Chloe really did care about Connor, and she was worried about him.

-Camp McCarren-

“That's...vivid...” Samuel decided on when Rica mentioned his way to interrogate the prisoner.

Soon the two would find Ethan, who had wandered away from Kanna for now, giving her some room, talking with the cook and trying to figure out different things for the menu.

“Hey...Ethan...we need your help with something,” Samuel said. Ethan paused, turning to the two, and raising an eyebrow.

“Is this about Kanna?” Ethan asked, with a small smirk on his face.

“No...just...well...” Samuel said, then explained to Ethan what he told Peterson.

“I see...and you think I could help with that?” Ethan asked, “I suppose I could. Alright then, let's go talk with this prisoner...”



Cess nodded at the map, then towards Lavan.

“Alright, sounds good. Being near the water will help with Nanami getting to us too. And if worse comes to worse, I could make us invisible for a little bit to help avoid pursuit,” Cess said, “Not for very long, maybe half a minute at most, but that would help.”

Cess could make himself (and his clothes and weapons around him) invisible as part of his ability, and could extend that field outwards, but the more he spread it, the more strain and energy it took.



Galv frowned a little at the mention of Kanna, shaking his head, “I know you'll be a great mom, Melanie.”

He smiled at the girl and pulled her closer to him on the cot, “We'll do better then our own parents...”



Erin was smiling, still holding Jason's arm tightly, pausing as Kanna said Galv and Melanie had also gone to the Strip...

“Oh? Did they get married too?” Erin asked, innocently.

-Caesar's Camp-

“Ahhh...Hello Nanami. And I see you brought a friend.”

The screen flickered on, showing House.

Hammah looked nervous, but House didn't pay him any mind.

“I can't interfere with the systems here, just send messages,” House said, “But you need to proceed through here. Unfortunately, it seems security is active. You'll have to deal with it. Once through, there will be another console, place the Platinum chip in it. That will get this place started. Return back to the Lucky 38, and we'll discuss our next objective.”

-Safe House-

Edda was quiet, frowning as he looked between Connor and Chloe.

“...Connor, go after Sarai,” Edda said to the other boy, then turned towards Chloe.

“Chloe... I agree that killing Autumn and Gallic would end up helping more people in the long run. But unless we can really coordinate with the Rebels or others, it's going to get bad. Someone will have to step into that power vacuum, and right now the only ones who can are part of the Rebellion, or in the Enclave. It's just us four, against all of the Enclave...” Edda said, “We can help some people...Maybe not everyone, but some...And it's a start...If we push for too much, we could lose everything...”

[Safe House]

Connor was still fuming. He couldn’t understand why Chloe was so nasty towards Sarai, or why she was so against helping the Avoxes. He took Edda’s advice and simply turned and walked away from them.

He headed down the hallway, towards the room where Sarai had gone. He knocked softly on the door.

“Sarai? It’s me. Can I come in?”

[Caesar’s Camp]

Nanami looked up to House and simply nodded. She didn’t much like the idea of just blindly following his orders, but right now this was the best she could do.

She turned and headed down the staircase without a word to Hammah. She moved slowly and methodically, keeping her eyes and ears alert.

Nanami reached the bottom of the stairs and looked around for any sign of danger…

[Camp McCarren]

Soon, the three of them headed to a separate building on the base. There were several guards outside of it, but they were let through.

Inside was a bare room. There were no windows, only one door, and nothing in the room except for a single man who sat Indian style in the middle of the floor.

He didn’t even acknowledged them as they walked in.

It took a second but Sarai opened the door, staring at him silently before bowing her head a bit and letting him in. She looked absolutely ashamed in herself, mostly likely not used to making such a spectacle of herself.

Still silently the girl walked over to the bed to sit down on, blushing brightly as she passed a chair she had previously knocked down in anger. She then looked back to Connor. "I-I'm s-s-sorry for explo-exploding like t-that" she managed with a sigh.

[...]

Chloe blinked as Edda turned to her a speak,she then wrinkled her nose a bit and stared up at the ceiling. "So you're saying we should help the Avoxs too?" Chloe asked with a groan. "Typical everyone sides with the mouse. I must be the only one who thinks we can do it...Actually bring down Autumn. Hell, let me have five minutes with him, i'll get the job done. I was only letting Connor have first dibs because of his parents. But obviously his hormones are more important."

Camp McCarren

“Oh? Did they get married too?”

By this point in their relationship Jason was pretty aware of Erin's child-like nativity towards all things....But sometimes even he was caught off guard by what Erin couldn't hold in....Especially this. In front of KANNA. Jason could feel all the color draining from his face, the young man turning from the girl to his mother who had an expression on her face that could kill a baby panda.

"What?" Kanna said through a clenched jaw "What did she say?"

Jason felt a bit dizzy but cleared his throat, and spoke. "W-Well we were wandering around the strip and Erin saw this little chapel...She reeeeeaaaaaaly wanted to go in, just to look around and stuff...And well-"

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Kanna exclaimed, jumping up and coming at her son (glass still in hand). Despite being a good foot taller than the woman Jason was terrified and scrambled back to escape the woman's wrath.

"Mom calm dowwwwwn!" Jason exclaimed, turning slightly gray when Kanna took her wine glass and smashed the top off on a tent pole...Now she ad a half broken glass and a VERY effective weapon. She came at him again "SOMEONE GET THIS CRAZY WOMAN"

[...]

"I hope so" Melanie said, moving in and kissing Galv quickly. "Though you're dad does seem like a great gu-

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Suddenly Melanie jumped, turning around quickly when she heard Kanna's yell. At first she had thought it was coming for her, but the two had not been disturbed-

"SOMEONE GET THIS CRAZY WOMAN"

"Jason!" Melanie exclaimed, scrambling off of Galv and over to the tent's flap, popping her head out to see her mother chasing her brother with something....Glass?

Connor followed Sarai over towards the bed and sat down next to her. He sighed, and took her hand and gave her the best smile he could manage at the moment. He was still angry with Chloe, and it was hard for him to calm down.

“You had every right to explode.” Connor said, shaking his head. Then he paused. “… but try not to stay too mad at Chloe. She doesn’t understand…”

He sighed and leaned against her.

“Don’t worry Sarai… I’m going to do what I can to help the Avoxes.”
